Summary of the working group on the construction and demonstration of a Siberian Snake

Description
It was recognized as long ago as the 1977 Ann Arbor Meeting on Higher Energy Polarized Proton Beams that a ''Siberian Snake'' should be built and tested in an operating accelerator. A program to accomplish this at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) was part of a proposal to DOE to construct a small R and D accelerator at ANL. This was never implemented and between then and now many theory papers have been written but no Proof of Principle Experiment (POPE) has been done. The present Ann Arbor workshop again strongly recommends that a POPE be implemented as soon as possible …

Description
It was recognized as long ago as the 1977 Ann Arbor Meeting on Higher Energy Polarized Proton Beams that a ''Siberian Snake'' should be built and tested in an operating accelerator. A program to accomplish this at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) was part of a proposal to DOE to construct a small R and D accelerator at ANL. This was never implemented and between then and now many theory papers have been written but no Proof of Principle Experiment (POPE) has been done. The present Ann Arbor workshop again strongly recommends that a POPE be implemented as soon as possible since it has important consequences for all of the new higher energy machines. This ''Demo Snake'' working group zeroed in on the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) as the place where such a project could now be most effectively done. The AGS has a polarized beam and knowledgeable theoretical and experimental accelerator physicists who have been working with polarized beams in accelerators for the last few years. Referring to the information contained in the introductory remarks to the working group on the characteristics of snakes, we detail the necessary design for the AGS.
